• First, my un-professional hypothesis is that it wasn't physical hunger that you experianced. Since human beings can survive for more than a month without food, it is doubtful that you experianced this after two hours. Most people don't know what "tr…

• So, for those of you who have had colonics, did you see stuff that didn't look like normal poop?

• There are cookie recipes out there. You could put in in your smoothies... If you ever see "almond flour" in a recipe, you can make that by taking the almond pulp and dehydrating it. It creates a type of flour which you can use to thicken up somethin…

• I'm not sure about vinegar. Yes, you could also use dehydration method. However, in the future its just best to plan out your groceries so that you're always eating as fresh as possible. I have gotten used to this to the point where I often have a g…

• The two ways I preserve things are fridge and lemon juice. I don't know if lemon juice could go in anything that you mentioned... Although, I thought the vinegar in pickes did the preserving. How long do you need the stuff to last?

• I am not sure exactly about these tribes, but I think it would be reasonable to compare with a monkey diet, which is mostly "raw vegan". When they eat food it still has fresh soil on it, along with many insects most likely. This would supplement the…

• I agree with brontesaurus approach, however it seems there could be a little more raw foods in that meal plan. There are tons out there, though. Here's another: fruit / smoothie / green smoothie for breakfast, big salad for lunch, low fat cooked mea…

• I think the above two give very good advice. Also don't let initial dislikes to some raw food discourage you. Some things take a couple tries before they become appealing. For instance, I used to not like cantelope but now I like it very much. It is…

• I don't think you can go too wrong. I have Alyssa Cohen's book, which is basically the Bible of raw food - she has everything in there, stuff like pizza and crepes, lol. Its expensive, but a nice big book with a looot of recipes and a good intro on …

• First, check craigslist! They pop up on here sometimes. I got a 4 tray on there for... $40 I believe. But, then I upgraded to the 9-tray. Mostly, I hear that getting the 9-tray is worth the investment. Its not too much more expensive and they last a…

• Also Charlie - exercise. If you put sufficient effort into it, this will do a couple things for you: 1) Give you a truer sense of hunger so that you will be more pleased with a wider variety of foods 2) Stimulate your digestive system so that your b…

  in Hungry Comment by eecho
• Well, keep in mind that everytime you eat your body has to work, using energy. Also constantly stimulating your digestive system drives up metabolism which then becomes more active then it needs to be. Eating consistantly throughout the day is more …

  in Hungry Comment by eecho
• First, try to stop eating right before you go to bed. Eating this late causes your digestive system to work while you sleep instead of allowing your body to recover and cleanse. If you stop doing that, then you will be able to eat a bigger breakfast…

• Superfood2 has great advice if you also plan on doing a lot of intense exercise every day, at least a couple hours.

  in Protein powders for raw vegans? Comment by eecho
• None. All the protein you need is in the food, but you have to put in the work to use it. Of course, it does depend on your purpose. If you want to be "bulkier" on raw, then I suppose it might help you out. However, if you are worried about getting …

• I also think fruit is the best, however you have to meet people where they are at. Like, you don't tell a crack addict to just stop smoking crack. You set them up with a program of some kind, walk them through it, try to understand their struggle, b…

• You don't *need* avocados, you don't need any one kind of food. Remember that foods are regional, so there are some regions that avocados don't grow, and in such a region you wouldn't be able to eat them "in nature". In terms of fat, I believe there…

• ZeeMox, I'm not going to go in to too much detail, but here are some thoughts: 1) Your body will go through a process while you convert to raw. Detox, clensing, etc. Its possible that a side effect could be lack of energy or even becoming sick. Stic…
